IMO, @marylander1940 is right. You didn't open a hornet's nest, @Milo Farnsworth . Thanks to some astute advice, the hornet's nest has remained intact and all hornets are present and accounted for.
@BigRic's suggestion is a good one - ask about specific escorts and invite folks to reply by starting a "conversation," which many of us call a "PM" (for "private message"). Prior to the implementation of the current Forum software, exchanges between two members were referred to as "private messages." Now they are called "conversations." In addition to avoiding a bitchfest, starting a conversation ensures you do not run afoul of the "no reviews in the Forum" rule. That rule exists for the reasons @saminseattle mentioned in his post.
Hope that wasn't to much detail.
